wow
 

is this for real

I'm tempted to download graal just to play that event

LOL caps

I dont get your point.. Why make a thread?

I lol'd.

I think the ADL would be very interested if they found out about this content.

If there was a guy in the middle named Hitler would you get it?

Hi, I'm really sorry to anyone that was offended by the event message. It was my fault and I take full responsibility for it. It was a joke between me and a friend, and it shouldn't have gone farther than that. If need be, take my Events Team tag away because I realize how unacceptable it was. Again, I'm sorry to anyone that I offended.

What a wonderful server Era is. I think the PWA should deal with this accordingly.

Some coincidence going on up in this thread, eh Switch?

So true, but so worth it.

What do you mean by that?

We (me and Switch) have been having a 'conversation' about the Holocaust and Jews for a couple days now, it seemed funny that this would pop up right when it ended.

The event is a survival event and is in no way intended to represent the holocaust. The ET has been removed and I will look into adding pre-made event messages so that this doesn't happen again in the future.

I didn't even realize what the ET put in the event message, lol. that's pretty dumb.

Mmhmm. Real funny.

Agreed.

I lul'd.

A+ on that joke.

Quite disappointing, especially since we've already fired another ET for doing this.

Oh.. Didnt even look at the bottom of the image xP I joined that event to lool
But really, there is no need for this.

lol I've seen worse names for that event.....X_X

in this thread: bleeding hearts

Poor Ets. Get those laughs in then fired.

*sigh* Being an et member myself Id just like to say that in no way should ETs being saying ANYTHING bad like that.

When I created an improved version of the Event System classes sometime last year, it included a variable for the Event Name for specific purposes such as if an event name was ____ then these things aren't usable: ________. Perhaps you should somehow join to that in EVERY event, not just the ones I put them in, or take a leaf out of that book and have a variable in the announcement command (or even an ET "Hosting" GUI) in which messages cannot be manually set, and the default announcement is
"<Event Name> is being hosted by <Host>! Prize: <Prize entry>. Player limit: <1-unlimited>", etc.

I think the "Gas Chamber!" sign is equally as offensive as what the ET announced, is that the actual name of the event?

I don't agree with you at all. The event is simply a chamber, FULL OF GAS, and explosions and the last one out gets the event coin. It simply describes the event. No point to anything in history, get over it.

It depends how much you draw into it. I think alone, it's alright, but as soon as people start bringing in Holocaust references, it's quite easy to start offending people.

I think "gas chamber" on its own has pretty strong connotations that you can't remove by just ignoring that they exist.

So what do you suggest they re-name it?

I don't know, but personally I don't think it's appropriate. It's like having a Bulldog event disguised as players running to and from air raid shelters to avoid bombings, just seems uncomfortable as a platform for an event.

Zzz... Could name it survival, but like I said I don't agree.
Not that big of a deal, I mean if it REALLY offends you, then i don't see why not change it.
But man... whatever.

this sounds like an excellent event to me

On that note,
The entire concept and name of the event is questionable. I mean, "Gas Chamber" doesn't ring many other bells. I think the entire event should be removed, its insulting, and ignorant.. and that's coming from me.

On another note,

ROFLMAO VIN, NOICEE!!!! AHAHAHAHHAHAH, I shoulda been online, BLACK MAN WOULDA SURVIVED! CHEA BOIIIII!!!! AHAHAHAHA. Dats some funny ****, man!

Erm... erm... yes, it was very ignorant, don't try it again... there was alot of heartache, (and lungache) during those events, it is no joking matter.

Remember, WIL SOUL FOR ET! YES WE CAN!
You down wit WILLIAM SOUL?! YEA DATS FO SHO!

I'm William Soul, and I approve this message.

;o Wil takes to posting while on drugs?


That is rather stupid to do, it could be renamed Survival Chamber or something. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Jewish players might take offense to it.

Dont they have the same kindov event on Unholy Nation? I forget the name.. bombs thunder things, ect

Everyone should have a yamika during this event.

DangerRoom

just call it simply "survival" then.
dont want to offend anyone now..... sure that's not pointing to anything else that's going to offend anyone? Everyone okay with "survival"?

just because your corrupted, disturbed, and sick mind thinks of a certain tragic event in history when you see this event doesn't mean it should be renamed.
